Young dad Mark Ellis suffered a stroke and a locked in syndrome- a medical condition that leaves sufferer with an alert brain but dead body. Mark was 22 when he suffered a stroke in August 2010 and just two months after his marriage to wife Amy 32. He was placed in an induced coma and according to his doctors were unlikely to survive. But to the amazement of all, just 8 months after, Mark left the hospital and was learning to talk, walk and move again after taking cues from daughter Lola Rose.
Mark who was working in a mobile phone shop before the stroke actually did complain of migraine few weeks before the stroke, after seeing his doctor at Chesterfield Royal Hospital, and given a paracetamol,but as the day progresses, the condition was getting severe, Mark went back to the hospital and was sent to Sheffield Hallamshire Hospital for an MRI Scan which showed evidence of stroke the day Mark complained of migraine.
wow so devastating. Mark who is 23 is determined to get better as he is showing high rates of improvement.
kudos to his baby Lola who has brought him happiness, what a miracle.
